Microsoft directly blamed Russia's foreign intelligence service on Tuesday for a devastating security breach of at least nine federal agencies and dozens of private businesses, going further than US government officials have to date in their public attribution for the hack.

Testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Microsoft President Brad Smith said it would likely take time for the US government to formally reach the same conclusion. But, he said, there is "not a lot of suspense at this moment in terms of what we're talking about."

"At this stage, we've seen substantial evidence that points to the Russian foreign intelligence agency," Smith said, "and we have found no evidence that leads us anywhere else."

US intelligence officials have so far said only that the attack was conducted by an actor who is "likely Russian in origin."
